The Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-

gaged in a campaign to sign up grow
ers of at least 300,000 bales of Geor
gia's annual cotton crop for marketing
through the famous California ce-oper
ative plan, launched its campaign in
Terrell county Friday afternoon, when
a meeting of farmers of the county
was held at the court house. Due to
very unfavorable weather only a few

A. A. Elmore, co-operative marketing
ij;])ert, who explained the plan in de
tail. .
Following Mr. Elmore’s address sev
eral committees were appointed to ad
vertise the next meeting, which will
be held in about two weeks or just as
soon as Mr. Elmore can return, the
date to be announced later. A com
mittee from each section of the county
‘was appointed and as soon as it is
known definitely when the next meet
ing is to be held these men will ad
vertise it throughout their communi
ties. At this meeting permanent or

KIWANIS ,
By C.-PINKEY JONES,
Scranton, Pa.
IWANIS is an organization:
K of virile, progressive, right
thinking, broad-minded
business and professional men.
Its membership is formed by the
careful and discriminating selec
tion of the most representative
men in their particular calling—
men, who by virtue of their (god
given talents can be relied upon
to cheerfully co-operate - with
their fellow members in actively
supporting the Kiwanis move
ment in its steady, unfaltering
march toward the attainment of
its high ideals.
KIWAN IS is the practical ap
plication of the principle of
the Golden Rule to our mod
ern every day life. The participa
tion in its activities has a pro
nounced effect upon each and ev
ery one of its members from the
time they are first initiated. It
penetrates the veneer and reach
es down into the real inner na
ture of the man, It appeals to his
noblest impulses. It inspires self
confidence and reliance in one'’s
ability to battle courageously
and successfully in the cause of
world-wide moral uplift. It de
velops the talents by its stirring
appeal for efficiency. It harnesses
the restive streams of nervous
energy, directing this mighty
force into useful and far-reaching
channels.
THROUGH fellowship, ac
quaintanceship develops into
mutual understanding and es
teem. Through friendship and
association with a common in
terest, a vast clearing house of
ideas, plans and projects is form
ed. From this melting pot of di
versified energy, brains and ex
perience, there pours molten
metal of the purest gold, which
flows freely where it is needed.
AS A mighty river rolls on in
its majestic course toward
the ocean, so does the Ki
wanian expand in his capacity
for rendering service to his fel
low man. T%be further we pro
ceed in our Kiwanian activities,
the more devoted we become to
the great cause in which we have
enlisted. .As we cast our eyes
about us, we witness the meta
morphosis of a once self suffi
cient,. smugly satisfied profes
sional man into an ardent and
unselfish worker in child wel
fare campaigns; the evolution of
an unsympathetic and apparent
ly hardened man of affairs into
a genuinely democratic and tire
less toiler in benevolent and
charitable projects, and the trans
formation of a solitary and non
communicative scientist into a
radiant personality of contagious
good cheer and fellowship. It
brings home to us, what the spir
it of Kiwanis means to this busy
world today. As the years glide
by we can see her circle of po
tentiality constantly expanding,
and the achievements pyramid
ing far aloft into the deep blue
heavens. ot
